Gessel has advised the partners and founders of the Profit4You Group on the sale of the company to the TEP Capital fund. Noerr advised the TEP Capital private equity fund.
The transaction remains contingent on regulatory approval.
TEP Capital is a Polish private equity fund founded in 2020 that focuses on investments in Polish manufacturing companies. This is the first transaction through which TEP Capital is moving beyond its current investment focus.
Profit4You specializes in the direct recruitment of foreigners in the logistics and production process outsourcing industry.
According to TEP Capital Managing Partner Tomasz Wozniak, "with a low unemployment rate and an aging population, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find employees and, therefore, sustain key processes for production or logistics operators." He expects demand for Profit4You's services to grow well beyond TEP’s investment horizon.
